Abstract

In this paper, the previously unknown male of Mylabris parumpicta (Heyden, 1883) is described and figured. The original description of this endemic species was based on three female specimens collected from Elburz Mountains. Additional distributional records for M. parumpicta are provided to improve the current knowledge about its occurrences across Iran.
